role at

Truist We are seeking a seasoned and hands-on Senior Software Engineer to lead the design and implementation of enterprise-grade microservices and platform capabilities that operate at global scale. This role is pivotal in building resilient, observable, and policy-compliant software systems that power mission-critical business functions. Leveraging technologies like Java, Python, Helm, Kubernetes, and event-driven architectures, you will deliver reusable software patterns with embedded controls to meet enterprise security, compliance, and risk management standards. The ideal candidate is a strong technical leader who can translate architectural vision into production-ready, scalable code with a focus on governance-as-code and automation. Design, develop, and maintain high-scale, low-latency microservices in Java and Python that support enterprise platforms with stringent uptime, compliance, and observability requirements. Engineer event-driven architectures using Kafka or equivalent messaging platforms to enable asynchronous workflows, decoupled service communication, and scalable event sourcing. Develop and maintain Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and YAML-based configurations to deploy and manage cloud-native applications in production environments. Design and implement enterprise-scale reusable service patterns, including service discovery, distributed configuration, fault tolerance, and global failover strategies. Embed policy-as-code in CI/CD workflows using tools like OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, or custom controls, enforcing security, compliance, and infrastructure governance at deploy time. Partner with security, compliance, and risk teams to codify controls into automated pipelines, ensuring software systems are audit-ready by default. Implement compliance-aware telemetry and alerting tied to controls such as data residency, encryption, access boundaries, and runtime immutability. Drive the adoption of platform-wide architectural standards for service-to-service communication, identity propagation, rate-limiting, and secret injection. Provide hands-on leadership in technical design reviews, deep dive troubleshooting, and performance tuning of distributed, containerized systems. Author and maintain technical documentation, platform onboarding guides, and reusable code templates to enable faster and safer developer onboarding. Essential Duties And Responsibilities Develop customized coding, software integration, perform analysis, configure solutions, using tools specific to the project or the area. Lead and participate in the development, testing, implementation, maintenance, and support of highly complex solutions in adherence to company standards, including robust unit testing and support for subsequent release testing. Build non-functional monitoring capabilities and provide escalated support for highly complex applications in production. Build in and maintain security controls and monitoring in support of company standards. Typically lead moderately complex projects and participate in larger, more complex initiatives. Solve complex technical and operational problems. Act as a resource for teammates with less experience. May oversee the work of a small team. In an Agile environment: Responsible for delivering high quality working software and automating manual/reusable tasks working directly, and engage with, the business from the beginning of the design work. Qualifications Bachelor’s Degree and six to ten years of experience or equivalent education and software engineering training or experience. In-depth knowledge in information systems and ability to identify, apply, and implement best practices. Understanding of key business processes and competitive strategies related to the IT function. Ability to plan and manage projects and solve complex problems by applying best practices. Ability to provide direction and mentor less experienced teammates. Ability to interpret and convey complex, difficult, or sensitive information. Preferred Qualifications Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Experience in high-regulation industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare, automotive) with firsthand knowledge of compliance enforcement at code level. Experience with Open Policy Agent (OPA), Kyverno, or HashiCorp Sentinel for governance and control enforcement. Deep familiarity with enterprise system constraints including governance, scalability, compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, PCI, NIST), and regulated workloads.
